EAST INDIES k From `; - 1, .Dethc, Gazette= Lt', 4. ) ivis:KR C CTION OF A P RINCE OF THE H uC ' SE OF T IMM; FOR "MEL—The morning of Friday last presented the novel, nArnt distressinesur, spectacle of a Prince descended from the great expiating with his life on the scaffold a murder com mitted under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. For fear of exciting prejudice against the accused, we have hitherto re framed from alluding to the crime during investigation. But by th e t erm i nation of the whole proceedings the restriction for silence no longer exists : we therefore hasten to lay before tile public a circumstantial detail of all particulars connected there with, to which we have added a few brief remarks, which the natur e of the subject has suggested. Majesty, ; e criminal, Mirza Hydur Shekob, a cousin of his present that took an opportunity during the height of a storm, _at visited Delhee on the 11th ultimo, tomurder his wife, the Kaudera Sultan Begum, by cutting her almost to pieces with a sword, aft er w hi ch he quietly left the house, and threw him self down a well near at hand, with the intention of perpe htrating suicid e . Hi s courage, however, fa il e d , an d h e wa s wn out, and secure d b y persons, w h o h a d co ll ec ted on cries for help. When the murder was reported to his Majesty, he directed !' l s . Minister to wait on the Governor-General's Agent, and so licit his interference. Mr. Metcalfe accordingly deputed the assist ant Agent, Cornet Robinson, to proceed and hold an Quest on the body, but it was some time time before the rela tives of th e deceased would allow that gentleman to enter the Anderoon. Permission was at last given, upon c o ndition th at h e a l one should v i ew t h e b o d y, w hi c h p re s e nted flesh 111°S t appalling s i g h t, b e i n g a complete mass of bloody !te !.. It was st a t e d by one o f th e female attendants thlt victim was eight months advanced in pregnancy ; and the fact was afterward substantiated on the trial. b °Q Monday the 13th, Mr. Metcalfe waited on his Majesty, zulYawtmt,it if vras requested that he would investigate the case, proved - , the murderer should forthwith be put to death, at the place where he committed the deed. In accordance with the King's wish, all parties were in attendance the same da at the Residency. After a careful 4 . 114 patient investigation of the case before our Agent, as ssted by Mooftee Sadder-oil Suddoor, the crime was fully t r i ?ved, independent of t he prisoner's voluntary confession, no refused offering any defence in extenuation. The - proceedings with ihe Sudder-00l Suddoor's Futwa (de claring the prisoner liable to Kisass), having been submitted trioiving to Government, their reply was received on the 26th ult., ap of the same, and with reference to his Majesty's in authorized a. authorized the same penalty of death being carried I ,_‘ o effect on the prisoner, in snch manner as might be most i'eni,ficial as .an example, and agreeable to his Majesty's b e e e rgs• It was finally determined that the prisoner should ung on th e f o ll ow i ng F r id ay , w hi c h sen t en ce was commu eica ted to hi m b y t h e agent. H e h ear d hi s d oo m with sullen /mate and merely replied—Bote-Acha, (very . good). 4ffa tirore t hi s his period he employed himself in arranging h rs ' and, on the morning previous to execution, sent for disease Child, about a year old, which was in the last stage of ise ase; it expired during the day, and when told of its death,r, he smiled, but said nothing. are Palace Friday at day break 200 of the Sappers and Miners, d ue Palace Guards, and 400 of his Majesty's troops, were u r n it a wn °tit (round the gallows erected within the Palace) d er command of Captain Wilson, the Killadar. Rl',‘A b alf -past five his Majesty held a Durbar in the Mottee 0 ;." 111, at which the Agent attended. In the meantime Mr. e nt In sou, to whom the superintendence of the execution was re r usted, p rocee d e d w i t h hi s M a j es t y ' s V a k ee l, an d a party of ut il ar', to the Kill a d ar ' s quar t er s, at which place the prisoner cess.confined. After a few moments spent in prayer, the pro ,l;°n moved on, and reached the scaffold in about ten minutes. dr he Prince havine. quitted his palanqueen, aicended the prep with great coolness. Mussulman executioners had been _ provided, but he called the servant who had been in attend- Ev e e e, and begged him to adjust the rope, which the man did. th e tiling being ready, the supporters were withdrawn, and unfortunate Prince was launched into eternity. He ap reared to suffer very little—a few convulsive movements, and cee P las a corpse. Immediately afterwards the assistant pro ma?ed a n d reported the completion of t h e sentence to hi s th J e stY, who forthwith dismissed his Durbar and retired to Mhehid, apparently greatly distressed. The body, after • e hour's suspension, was taken down and buried in a place prepared, close to the tomb of Nizam-00-deen Oliah. torshe exe cut i on of th i s Pr i nce w i t hi n t h e pa l ace o f hi s ances o ' has caused no slight excitement among the inhabitar.ts imperial city. It appears not a little singular, that k iv. e of the Blood Royal, with a few exceptions, should ac orluwledge the justness of that sentence, which has consigned h ! of their race to an ignominious death, while on the other ~nl , the mass of the citizens of Delhee, viewed the deserved kainaldnshment of the royal murderer as an act of tyranny, isted Confi rming the general belief that has lately ex tednee°re the desire of Government to detract from, and r - every means in their power, those marks of aideration and rivileges now enjoyed by the King of e h ei , h ee• How this feeling ' first originated shall form the :act of a future argument; at present, our remarks are . 1 17 ,7 Y confined to the interesting subject under comment. "Y the members of the Royal Family have coincided, p re before stated, is easily explained. The victim was the th e ee of his Majesty,independant respected, elated to heads of the family, was universally beloved, lifd admired, for her very correct and virtuous course of and we f ear s h e was a so li tary i nstance among t h e f ema l e .a abitants of the Palace. Mirza Hydur Shekoh was but a re mote branch of royalty without many connexio n s, a n d d eeme d '1 all who knew him a reprobate. The supposed cause of murder (namely, because his wife refused to associate with one of his concubines) also lessened the feeling in his favour. We ke afraid that had the victim been a poor helpless slave girl, tie means would have been left untried to save his life. We must not withhold our humble tribute of praise to the King, for his firm and just conduct throught the whole transaction ; the feeling and sentiments expressed by him a re worthy of the universal and great respect in which he is held by all classes of people ; nor should the arduous ex ertions of our Agent be forgotten. Few are aware of the embar rass i ng s ituation in which he was placed, or of the d 'ffioulty experienced in bringing the proceeding to such a Satisf actory close, without requiring the evidence of those a 4, 2, from th e i r high rank and sex, could not have been ex tined with ou t suffering disgrace in the eyes of the natives 4 9d last, but not least, we cannot sufficiently express our .i4ausTvi r a - tion at the delicacy evinced by Government to his Ma aseet.the King of Delhee, in not interfering further than by e ottii i° eing the penalty of Death being carried into effect ac isag to his M a j es t y ' s w i s h. It is true that by the Treaty th e x ? in 3, tile power of life and death is guaranteed to aant d g , but it speaks well for Government, that in the pre yet 4 7, when treaties are held d r at so cinch waste a paper, paper, it has b eh be en mindful of that respect due to the fallen, but still kipshed nam e of Timour.

CORN-LAW FALLACIES, WITH TH ANSWERS. ( Continued from The Sun of Wednesday.) 234.--A baud of schemers has been busied, for some time back, in organizing a system of agitation against the Corn laws. The simplicity, with which, at times, the more noisy agents of the system betray the motives, by which their em ployers are animated, is amusing, and not uninstructive. At Manchester, more especially, there has been formed an Anti-Corn-law Association; and this association has employed a spouter, named PAULTON, to perambulate the country, and to reiterate the dull and shallow common-places, on which the enemies of English agriculture trade. At Bolton, this worthy delivered a lecture a few days ago, in which, as reported, may be found some admissions of a very curious kind. Let the fol lowing be taken as a specimen : " The lecturer then gave a detail of the injurious effects of the sugar and coffae monopolies, and argued that the destruc tion of the corn monopoly would bring the landowners into op position to every other hind of morropoly."—Morning Herald, 7 Nov. 1838. ANSWER.—The Corn-law supporters do the same on the other side ; and in fact in these very paragraphs, they are summoning the different kinds of monopolists to the rescue. Let it be conceded then, that this is only a fair " pull baker, pull devil," and must continue till the cribber of bread and the great avenger settle their relative strengths by experiment. 235. —The landowners of England are really deeply indebted to the ingenuous Mr. PAULTON, and to his honest patrons 1 The aim —the avowed aim—of the Anti- Corn-law faction is, not merely to rob and ruin landowners and farmers—but after having ruined them, to convert their desperation into the instrument of ruin ing every other class, whose possessions or privileges may re main to be an object of desire to Mr. PAULTON'S paymasters. The landed " monopoly" is, in the first place to be pulled down, and then the ex-monopolists of land are to be made use ful, after the fashion in which Mr. PAULTON himself now as. pires to be useful—useful, that is to say, in the way of depriv ing other men of their utility, of their social value. All " monopolies," in short, are destined to destruction—except ing, we presume, the " monopoly" on which Mr. PAULTON'S employers thrive.—ld. A.:—To be sure, they are. If Mr. PAULTON has got a monopoly of his own in his pocket after all, he is going a very bad way to see it thrive. 236.—The brief sentence which we have quoted, contains an epitome of the whole policy of free trade—its ends, and the means by which these have been already partially attained, and by which they bid fair, at no distant period, to be worked out. —/d. A.—A cheering admission from an adversary. There is nn doubt, that every public plunderer pulled down, falls into the ranks of the honest men. 237.—The policy of free trade, in short, is that policy, which dictates the sacrifice of one class of producers after another, in the order, which may best suit the convenience of the idle con sumers of society—and which dictates, moreover, the conver sion of each of the ruined classes of producers into the instru ment subsequently of ruin to other classes.—ld. A.—Which dictates the sacrifice of one class of disho nest producers after another, or all together, as may be best within the reach of the community they wrong. The charge against them being, that each derives its gain through a double loss to the rest of the community, once by taking money from the consumer without return, and once over again by taking employment from the honest traders with whom the consumer would have spent that money if he had been let alone. 238. —Such has been the unfailing character of the effects, which have, for twenty years, followed the march of Whig political economy. The Currency Bill of 1819, for instance, was a bill framed for the express purpose of placing all the other classes of the community at the mercy of the moneyed class, and of the body of idle consumers. That bill deprived landowners of half their property, and ruined tens of thou sands of farmers and of respectable tradesmen. That bill more than doubled the power of creditors over debtors—and crippled productive industry in all its forms, as no single le gislative measure, perhaps, ever crippled productive industry before. —ld. A.—The Currency Bill was framed for the purpose of undoing a great injustice, consisting in having first borrowed money, and then purposely diminished the value of the money in which the interest was to be paid. If it increased the power of creditors over debtors, it was because there had been a previous unjust increase of the power of debtors over creditors. It was like the verdict of a jury giving money to A, because he had previously been wronged by B ;'and the oddest of all notions of legislation, would be to find in that a reason for going back to the state of things that had just been cured. 239. —The effects of the Currency Act did not, moreover, terminate with the direct change which it wrought in the con dition of the classes which gained by it. No :—the classes of producers who were crushed beneath the influence of that measure became, of necessity, instruments for the destruction of other orders of producers. —ld. A.—lt is possible some classes might be put upon con sidering whether, as they had lost by the cessation of an injustice upon other people, they could not find an injustice somewhere which might be put down with advantage to themselves. But it is not very clearly made out. 240.—Such, in like manner, have been the effects of free trade, and of the unrestricted use of machinery on the condi tion of the hand. loom weavers. That body of producers —to the number of 800,000—has been sacrificed to the idle con sumers of society ;—and then, the unfortunate hand-loom weavers have been used as agents in depressing the condition of every other class of labourers. —ld. A.—The hand-loom weavers are beginning to know a little more about the matter. They are finding out, that when trade in general has been ruined by limiting the quan tity of food, they, a weakly and ailing trade from inherent causes, must of necessity feel the pressure most. They know, that as for stopping machinery, they may as well ask mankind to cease from spades and scratch the ground with their claws. If other people, therefore, are to be fed on water-gruel, they are likely to get the water without the gruel. There seems to be thought to be a good joke in talking of " idle consumers." Why are all consumers idle Y If the working classes want to go against the really " idle consumers," they know where to look for help. 241.—50, again, the new poor law was framed, in order to rob the labourer of the fair value of his labour ;—and, then, the hope of the schemers has been, that the defraudcd labourer will assist them in defrauding the landowner, and the farmer. --Id. A.—The labourers are certainly to blame, if they do not go against the landowner s , who to increase their own gains, took away the provision for the poor, and left the Corn laws standing. 242.—The fruit-growers of Kent arc, in conformity with the same system, marked out for destruction ;—and no doubt, it is contemplated by Mr. PAULTON'S patrons, that the fruit-growers, when fairly ruined will join in the clamour against the continuance to wheat-growers, of that protection which has been withdrawn from themselves.—ld. A.—They are to blame it they do ❑ot. It is in the nature of man, when he is beaten out of a knavery of his own, to go against the knavery of other people. 243. —The landowners and farmers are also, doomed ;—and so confident are the anti-Corn-law schemers of the success of this—the most important in their linked succession of plots against native industry—that they are already calving out the uses to which they mean to turn the whole band of farmers and landowners, after they shall be ruined.—ld. A. They are doomed, indeed ; but it no more abso lutely follows they are doomed to ruin, than that reivers.are ruined by being kept from the gallows tree. They are doomed to be turned out of their evil courses, there is no doubt of that ; but there will be many honest paths open to the reformed cow-stealers. 244.--" The destruction of the corn monopoly will bring he landlords into opposition to every other kind of monopoly." A.—lt will indeed. And keen will be the scent, and sharp the eye, of the landed terrier to every sort of mono polizing vermin, the moment he has ceased himself to be tempted by the garbage offered him for looking on. 245. —The repeal of the Corn-laws, in short, is, (if the free traders prophes3 truly) to condemn the landowners of England to do the dirty work, which is now done by men of the stamp of Mr. PAULTON.—Id. A.—See if they do not. Not the smallest compunction will they feel, for thrusting themselves into the heart of a monopoly though it were the most unsavoury in the list, provided always they perceive clearly it acts against them selves. Be persuaded, that in this line, nothing will be too dirty. ?tieen 3,,t; 'Pe i. Il e rriagef r bawl.

CAPTAIN CEIAMIER'S NEW NAVAL NOVEL. We are requested testate that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlbo rough•street, has this day published the new naval novel, en titled, " Jack Adams, the Mutineer," by Captain Frederick Chamier, R.N., author of " The Life of a Sailor," &c., in 3 vols., which can now be procured at all the libraries. Mr. Colburn has also just published Mr. Theodore Hook's " Gur ney Married," a sequel to " Gilbert Gurney"—Mrs. Gore's " Heir of Selwood ; or, Three Epochs of a Life"—the Hon. Mrs. Lambert's " Ella ; or, The Emperor's Son"—and " Duty and Inclination," the new novel edited by Miss Landon. MISS ANGELA COUTTS BURDETT AND THE IRISH BARRISTER.—A few weeks have only elapsed since Mr. Dunn, the Irish barrister, rendered himself the ridicule of Harrogate by his indiscreet annoyance to Miss Coutts Burdett at that fashionable watering place, and which ultimately led to his being taken into custody and bound over to keep the peace. Miss Coutts Burdett returned to town immediately after the above proceedings, but had not long enjoyed the quiet of the metropolis before her persecutor arrived at the Gloucester Hotel, Piccadilly, the windows of the apartments occupied by Mr. Dunn commanding those of Miss Coutts Burdett. During the past week Mr. Dunn was repeatedly observed walking past the residence of Miss Coutts Burdett, who, we understand, is necessitated to keep two constables constantly within the ball of her mansion in Stratton-street to protect her from a repetition of his annoyances. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1838. The prosecution grew out of the publication of a police report or the appearance of which Mr. Barrett apologised, but the, parties notwithstanding thought proper to prosecute. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (From the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday.) TELEGRAPHIQ DESPATCHES. " CONSTANTINE, OCT. 23.—The army took possession of Milah on the 21st instant, without firing a shot. The most perfect calm reigns in the province. Neither on the road, nor in establishing ourselves, have we been disquieted for a moment. " I am causing the road between Constantine and Milah to be made by the army. At the same time will be opened, that which leads from Milah to Algiers. in passing by Setif and the Iron Gates. A camp will be established between Milah and Setif for the execution of this important work." " CONSTANTINE, OCT. 24. " MARSHAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " I have appointed Kalifa of La Mejana, Sidi- Ahmet- Ben- Mohamed- Ben- El- Hadji- Bouzio- El- Migrani, the grandson of Sultan Boasis, who was celebrated in Africa during the last century. On being! informed of the occupation of Milah, that chief immediately repaired to my head-quarters. He has re ceived to-day in Constantine the investiture of his new dig. nity, after taking the oath of allegiance on the Koran, and in the presence of the Cadis and Muftis. " The authority of the King is now acknowledge through_ out the province of Constantine from the frontiers of Tunis to the Iron Gates." It will appear, from the telegraphic despatch published in our number of the 9tb, that our conquests in Africa are receiving daily a more important development. The occupation of Milah completes in a becoming man ner the occupation of Stora, which we announced not more than a month ago. It may be said, that since 1830 we had not derived such marked advantages from our establishment in the former regency. The Government thus justifies the confidence which the Chambers had evinced towards it during the last session in granting the supplies demanded for the work which is at present proceeding so happily to its accom plishment. - The most remarkable feature of our new conquests is that they have been pacifically achieved. The ascendancy of our name is now so well established, that the natives regarded as the most hostile, who at first appeared inclined to resist our domination with an implacable energy, accept it now with a sympathetic submission. —A/Oa/tear. The favourable results of the trials of percussion muskets made in Vincennes, by the Foot Chasseurs, has induced the Government to arm with them an entire battalion, several companies of which will be immediately afterwards detached to the army of Algiers. Previous, however, to the application on a large seal? of the new armament, additional trials are to be made, during which the company of chasseurs will have to fire 140,000 carabine shots. It is full time to think seriously of improving the armament of our infantry, when all the powers of Europe are occupied in ameliorating theirs. Austria, amongst others, may, when ever she pleases, transform 80,000 muskets of her infantry into as many percussion muskets, on the plan of those of Con sole. The men themselves can effect that change by substi tuting for the battery the pan, and the flint, three other pieces, which have only to be taken out of the arsenals. The fulmi nating match is contained in a small metallic tube, which can be easily introduced into the touch-bole. The latter method, however, is merely transitory, but the new armament insures to the Austrian troops a decided advantage over those of other countries. - Courrier Francais.

While engaged in writing a part of this letter I heard the first shots of a movement similar to that of Valencia and other places fired in the Puerta del Sol this evening, about half-past seven o'clock. Since four indeed crowds had been gradually assembling there, and it was obvi ous from their appearance and conduct that some disturbance was to take place. Some of them at a later hour attempted to enter the Post-office, a strong building in the Puerta del Sal, but the picket guard of the National Militia on duty there refused them admission, and ultimately closed the gates. The crowds still increasing on the outside, the excitement became very great amongst them, and some sixty or seventy persons, dressed in the uniform of the National Guard, com menced crying Viva la libertiu Viva la Constitu cion .1 Viva Isabella Secunda Muerda los Ministras ! (death to the Ministers), and such like exclamations, which were responded to by shouts from the crowd. The alarm immediately spread through the town, and persons were seen running in all directions to their houses, which were immediately closed up throughout the city. As soon as the tiring ceased the drums beat to arms, and the Na tional Guard began to assemble from all parts of the town in the Place of the Constitution, where a considerable number of them are now drawn up, infantry and cavalry. The garri son and artillery were ordered under arms, and a battalion of the regiment of the Reina Gobernadora, and a squadron of the Lancers of the Guard, occupy the entrances to the Palace. From the lower part of the Calle Mayor, near the Palace, where the latter are stationed, to the Puerta del Sol, is pa trolled by a company of the National Guard, the officer of which was reading a proclamation as my informant passed them, declaring Madrid in a state of siege, and stating that all persons found in smaller or larger groups in the streets would be arrested if they did not disperse immediately, on being ordered to do so. Since the occupation of the streets by the guards and military, the city wears the appearance of perfect tranquillity. Not a soul is to be seen in the Puerta del Sol, and the gates of the Post-office remained closed. No accident or loss of life, that I could learn, has occurred on the occasion. The state of affairs here consequently assumes daily a more complicated and threatening aspect. To the Carlist question has been u nfortunately superadded, by the blindness or treachery of some of our late and present rulers, another of i m portance and danger —the q uest i on at issue at scat cely less this moment between the two grand sections of the Liberal party of Spain. This question has started up withi n t h e l ast few days into such gigantic proporti ons as a l most to over. shadow war and all in its dark and lowering interest. It ap pears,indeed, scarcely possible any longer to stem, or even to guide, its fury to other result than the natural resolution of its own vehemence —a total change of men and measures in the political system of Spain. Murcia, Alicante, and Car thagena in part, have i mi tated the example of Valencia, to eiaio,de maiided Carlist reprisals , and hoisted the flag of opposition the persons and system pursued by the present Government. In Murcia s ome Carlist p risoners havin g been sh ot with the consent of all authorities of the city. In Carthagena the drama has not been acted, but strong symptoms of an out break had manifested themselves there. To these movements is now added that of Madrid. In Saragossa similar occur rences are suspected here all day to have taken place in con sequence o f the non-arrival of the mail this mo rn i ng f rom that place. In consequence of these stron g man if estations of popular dissatisfaction with the system of government which has prevailed here for some time, it is expected that a new Cabinet will be immediately formed. The only military news of any interest rece i ved since I wrote last has been that the rear-guard of Merino's column has been overtaken by that of Brigadier Hoyos in the Pinares, and beaten by him. The loss was reported on the part of the Carlists as high as four or five hundred, but this is an exagge ration. General Narvaez has left Madrid to-day for Loja, in Anda lusia, where he intends to stop for some time. The second brigade of the army of reserve marched also to-day to Valde more, between Aranjuez and Madrid; but it is stated that they refused to proceed on the road, and were again returning to Madrid..—Morning Chronicle. PORTUGAL We have received the following letter from our Lisbon cor respondent, by the Iberia steamer, which arrived at Falmouth on Friday last, with the Peninsula mails, having left Gibraltar and Cadiz on the Ist, Lisbon the 4th, and Vigo the 6th inst., not calling at or off Oporto. The Seagull packet, Lieutenant Parsons, sailed from Falmouth on the morning of the 9th instant, for Madeira and the Brazils. Wind westerly and more moderate : LISBON, Nov. 4.—The departure of the Iberia steamer has been anticipated forty-eight hours because it appears that she brings most part of the July, August, and September letters from Bombay, containing very large India remittances for the London houses. Very shortly after twelve o'clock in the day on Wednes nesday, the 31st ultimo, the salutes from the forts and shipping in the Tagus announced to the inhabitants of Lisbon the birth of another Prince, and I am happy to say that both her Majesty and the Royal infant are doing as well as could be wished. Illuminations and salutes were the order of the day during the next two days, with corresponding holidays at all the public offices, &c., to the no small delight of the gentle men therewith connected. The christening is to take place after the 12th instant. The King received the congratulations of the nobility, corps diplomatique, and all public functiona ries, and the Te Deum cbaunted at the Palace Chapel on the Ist instant, was attended by the Foreign Ministers, at least such as arrived in good time for it, as well as by the Members of the Cabinet and of the Royal Household. Several of the Journals state that his Majesty has applied to the Minister of Finance for the fulfilment of a secret article of his marriage contract, which stipulates that so soon as there shall be male issue his Majesty's annual allowance is to be increased by 50 Contos, or near 11,5001. ; and they f u rther state that his Excellency replied that the Cortes had not sanctioned the payment of such a sum, and that he con sequently cannot comply with the Royal request until after the meeting of the Cortes. The point at issue between the British, French, Spanish Ministers, and this Government respecting the payment of the " Maneio" tax by the subjects of those nations, who are established in Lisbon, has been at length definitively disposed of ; they are not to be subject to such a tax, with the excep tion of such as are retail dealers. Tbis latter clause will cs. sentially apply to the native 3 of Galicia in Spain, a good many of whom keep retail shops and public-houses in this city. The sum of 4081 contos, near one hundred thousand pound 3, of certificates of various kinds of the public debt of Portugal, were publicly burnt on the 31st ult., by order of the Minister of Finance, because they had been redeemed by the Treasury and taken out of circulation ; but only 19,689,000 reis, say four thousand six hundred pounds ster ling, can well be said to have been reduced from the former public debt of Portugal, because the remaining sum arose from sundry debts which were contracted since the September Re volution. The Bragaeza elections have at length concluded, and Vis count de Ervedra, Baron Ribeira da Sabrosa, and Manoel Castro Pereira are the Senators, having the Marquis Fron teira and Count das Antas for substitutes. The Deputies are A. J. G. Ramos, J. A. Ferreira de Lima, G. T. de Soura Guedes. J. Pinto Soares, Antonio Fernandez Coelbo, with L. C. d'Oliveira Pimentel, and J. da Silva Passes as substitutes. There is another substitute to be ballotted for yet, and several of the above-mentioned gmtlemen have already been elected by other districts. Some of the Azores have already sent us the result of their elections, viz., Punta Delg:lda :—Senator J. S. de Soura Ferreira d'AlberrAyin, and A. Porte Quintal c Camara as substitut:•. Deputies, Dr. Jacinto Luiz d'Amaral Frarao, Manoel Antonio d Vasconcellos, and Luiz Ribeiro de Soura Saraiva, with Messrs. Silvestre Pinheiro Ferreiro and Jose Maria de Silveira Estrella as substitutes. The majority of the Senators and Deputies contained in the above list belong to the moderate party. The Braganza arrived yesterday with the mails from Eng land and Vigo, having ninety-three passengers, and again proceeded, early this morning, for Cadiz and Gibraltar. The William Fawcett steamer, wkich was to have sailed for Ma deira on the 21st ult., proceeded thither two hours since, with many passengers ; and the V esuvio steamer, with forty-three passenge:s, for Porto, sailed at ten this morning. An Austrian ship, suspected to be loaded with arms and ammunition for the Miguelitee, although ostensibly bound from Constantinople to Amsterdam, has been off the coast between l'eniche and Aveira for four or five days; but although she has made various signals, and fired guns, &c., no one wont from the shore to fetch any portion oi:T.the cargo, probably be canoe they were well watched. Busine;s may be. said to be at a perfect stand. —Morn. Post. IRELAND The columns of the Irish Papers are occupied principally with reports of Mr. O'Connell's progress through the country and his speeches at the public dinners, to which he goes. On Saturday we gave the substance of a speech delivered by that Hon. and Learned Gentleman at Kanturk. To-day we find room for the following sketch of the proceedings at a similar entertainment, which took place at Thurles, last Thurday, that being the day appointed by the people of Tipperary for the manifestation of their regard and attachment to the Liberator, by entertaining him at a public dinner. On his arrival he was greeted by every demonstration of enthusiasm and delight, and, after having visited the Archbishop of the diocese, he addressed the assembled multitude from the market-house in the following terms :—He called upon the people, in the name of God and of their country, to follow that course by which they could not fail to put their enemies in the wrong-- it was by the application of moral power that they would obtain their liberties—it was by that power they conquered Peel and Wellington, and laid the Orange flag prostrate in the dust. It was by the application of the same power that they would pre vent the return of ruthless ascendancy, that would crush the people to the dust, and again, if they had the power, lay desolate their places of worship, and hunt and persecute to the death the members of our holy religion. He alluded, in the most feeling and pathetic terms, to the murder of Mr. O'Keeffe, and, as if anxious to impress his sentiments more deeply upon the hearts of his hearers, he addressed them in Irish, with a force and pathos that cannot be described. He concluded by a solemn adjuration to heaven, that the perpe trator of the foul deed should be brought to condign punish ment. (This prayer was responded to by a hearty amen, tit tered amid audible sighs and lamentations.) He trusted it would be the last stain upon the character of Tipperary, and that all honest men of the county would be unceasing in their exertions to bring the miscreant to punishment. The people, with one voice, cried out that they would. He then glanced at the great measures which should be carried in order to se cure to the people their just rights. He called upon them to join the Precursor Society; and said if he once had two mil lions of honest men united with him in demanding justice for Ireland, Irishmen should, beyond all doubt, be placed on a footing with Great Britain, or else Ireland should have a tio rnestic legisture. The enthusiastic bursts of applause which followed the conclusion of his address were continued for seve ral minutes. The town was immediately afterwards bril liantly illuminated; and, although hundreds of persons re mained in the streets until a late hour, not the slightest act of impropriety was committed. The Secretary of the Dinner Committee received letters of apology from N. Ball, Esq., Mr. Shied, and Mr. R. Otway Cave. The Chair was taken by Lord LISMORE, who, after some appropriate remarks, gave " The health of our young and lovely Sovereign, who, like the dove in holy writ, is full of promise, hope, and joy." This toast was received with long and continued plaudits, and drunk with nine times nine. The usual toasts followed, and were all responded to with demonstrations of delight ; after which the Noble Chairman having proceeded with some remarks, proposed the health of " Daniel O'Connell." The toast was received with the most enthusiastic and pro longed cheering. Mr. O'CoNNELL, after the cheering had subsided, rose and made a long and eloquent speech, which want of space compels us to omit. The Dublin Monitor says--" It was, however, for the greatest part, a mere repetition of what both ourselves and our readers have heard fifty times, and it is questionable whether onr columns be not filled with matter more interesting, and probably more instructive. The affair -altogether passed off exceedingly well." The Freeman refers to the dinner in the following terms : " Truly glorious was the reception that Mr. O'Connell had in Thurles. How flatly it gives the lie, if any need there was, to the Tory fiction that the influence of the great champion of Ireland's liberties was on the wane I He wills it, and even into ttl eo db ar mightiereya of tf spirit theth than, of universal r o s l a d l seems t o people. Earnestly been do we r e w a e t h p e a d o t for pose, with all its attendant blessings. Yet no- . the less are we rejoiced at the movement that has now com menced, because there can be no political peace until there is political equality. Let the latter, then, be worked out, and the energies of Ireland will be directed to those aims from which wealth and contentment more immediately spring." The Dublin Evening Post, on the subject of these dinner demonstrations, affirms that it is the greatest folly in the world to attempt to deride them. The objectors are " great fools," says the Post. " Who (it continues) broke up the Welling ton Administration ? " Who broke up the Grey Administration ? " Who broke up the first Melbourne Ministry? " Who dissolved the Ministry of Sir Robert Peel ? " It would be easy by an induction of facts and reasons, to show that the main cause of the disasters which so many Cabinets have suffered, might be traced to Ireland. " We entirely agree with those who maintain that the movement at present is thoroughly national, and that it will be productive of great effects. " Mr. O'Connell is not doing the thing by halves, certainly. He has put his shoulder to the wheel, and the people are roused and ready. " That success will crown the efforts of the people, we shall not allow ourselves for a moment to doubt." The Dublin Monitor, on the other hand, regards Mr. O'Connell's speech at Kanturk, as well as that at Thurles, as most miserable productions, while the meetings themselves are designated " farces." We ought, perhaps, to premi se , that the Monitor is a new paper, professedly eschewing party views, and class objects, and even going so far as to hint that there is in Ireland " treachery and trimming, aided by literary ' Swiss,' whose Gothic ignorance renders if possible, the wrong and insult more unendurable," by attempting "to convert the name of liberty into something worse than bold and avowed corruption." We now subjoin the Monitor's commentary on Mr. O'Con nell's speeches : " W e had the same tale repeated again, ad nauseum, about the beauty and fertility of Ireland, and the bravery and pa triosm of her sons, and the services of Mr. O'Connell himself —all of which are matters which none will attempt to gai nsay. The abuse of Lord Brougham was in the very worst taste, and contained many statements, by the way, not founded in fact. We deprecate as much as any one Lord Brougham's support of the Coercion Bill, and we contend that it is one of those things which will tarnish the historical fame of his Lordship. But 'Mr. O'Connell must not forget that the Melbournes, Palmerstons, Russells, and Glenelgs —" the men whom he now delights to honour"—all advised and supported the same measure. The vituperation upon the dead Royalty of England, and the flattery towards Irish do h Lb e n r o a t t o q r utahrarte there h ere with w , a farther a t h m a r n . t m h i e n d l i t v h i n e g O to 'Co r n e- - nell, who is reported to have scrambled knee deep into the briny wave at Kingstown, to present a laurel crown to the Fourth George, after the ill-usage of that illus trious personage's daughter and wife, at which Mr. O'Connel now so maniloquently sneers. Mr. O'Connell denounces the English Radicals. Why, it is not " a little month" since we were to beseech these very Radicals to join us ; and when Mr. O'Connell himself informed us that the only reason why h e delayed the agitation of the Repeal question—the only mea sure, we maintain, which would essentially benefit Ireland— was owing to the circumstance that there was a majority of persons—honest politicians—in England—who conceived that Justice to Ireland could be obtained from a British Legislature. Had Mr. O'Connell not mentioned the Radicals by name, we never should have thought but that he alluded to the Whigs, and to that small section of the English Whigs, which compose the Mi nisterial circle. Why should Mr. O'Connell find fault with the Radicals and Reformers of England, because they refuse to the Irish people an adequate Reform Bill? Why overlook his beloved Ministers ? Can he woo Melbourne to extend the Irish Suffrage, or force Lord John Russell to give the Ballot? But then we should remember, those Ministers de serve the character which, we believe, Rochester gave to a person who resembled them in want of principle, and whom he declared there was no "doing with or without." Upon the whole, we are grieved at the proceedings which took place at the Tipperary demonstration. There is nothing wholesome or invigorating in it. Twaddle stands in the place of truth, and maudlin pot-house sentimentality where once we would have discovered soul-stirring eloquence." MR. SHIEL AND LORD WESTMEATII.-At the late Quarter Sessions held in Mullagar, the Magistrates state in effect that the charge is totally unfounded, and, in allusion to the recent official inquiry i❑ Westmeath, they declare that the character of Mr. Shiel, as a gentleman, " stands perfectly clear from such an imputation."

HOLLAND Tea HAGUE, Nov. 8. —The Avondbode has the following news from our Eist India possessions : " The st.tte of affairs in the interior of Padang and in the Tigablas Killas continues to be favourable. A moveable column under the command of Major Westenburgh has com menced its operations northward, against the inland chief Tamboesy. In the first place a C;rt belonging to the enemy, on the left bank of the river Dasak, was taken, after a very obstinate resistance, by Lieutenant Baudiin, who commanded the vanguard of the expedition. Our troops afterwards made themselves masters of the enemy's fortifi. d. position at Locboe Oute, ou which occasion Major Westenhing and likewise ; six subalterns and privates were wounded, and we have besides to lament the loss of Second-lieutenant Latc ur. His Majesty's frigate Zoan returned on the 11th of May, to the road of Padang, from a cruise to the northward, and had touched at Tapanoeli, Barns, Tapocs, and Slake]. The com mander of the vessel is said to have found the inhabitants of the kingdom of Achin very amicably disposed tow:,rds the Netherlands Government. " In the territory of Palembang no change had taken place io the unfavourable state of things. A moveable column of 267 officers and privates, with 80 proas, had set out on the 12th of May for the capital, Palembang, to Mocara Blite. His Majesty's corvette Castor arrived at Padang on the 28th of May. The above expedition seems to have some connec tion with the intended union of the residency of Palembang with the division Bencoolen, vs it was accompanied by th e Commission appointed for that purpose by the Governor. " The accounts from the Moluccas to the 9th of May last are, on the whole, not favourable respecting the disorder that prevails there. Among the persons who had fallen victims to it, Captain Beer and Lieutenants Zwescryn and Valkemer are mentioned. The Rev. M. Veekmans, who was present at the shipwreck of the Williani, steam-boat, had likewise fallen a victim to the disorder. The Governor of the Moluccas re- ' mains in good health. In Termite, as has already been mentioned, there was on the 26th of February a violent eruption of the volcano, in which four natives, who had just before descended into the crater to seek for sulphur, perished. " News has been received of the result of the expedition mentioned in our previous accounts of his Majesty's corvette Boreas, accompanied by the colonial brig Siwa, and two boats, against the pirates of Floris. The chief karnpong, Goege, of the Rajah of Larautoeka, and seven kampongs the Bay of Ende, to the north of Floris, had been destroyed as a severe chastisement of the inhabitants, for their piracies and trading in slaves. At Ense it was first attempted, but without success, to open a negotiation. The I'es:stance that was made by the inhabitants, and especially by the Boeginese who were there, is said to hate been very obstinate. Two men were killed on board the Boreas, and two wounded on board the Siwa. " His Mejesty's iron steam-beat Recta, after making various excursions, was gone to Bali and Lonalmk. " Pevfect tranquillity prevailed . in Java. The duties on importation and exportation in Java and Madura had produced in April and May the sum of 1,058,954 f., which is 489,287 f. more than in April and May, 1836, and 360,276 f. more than in the same mouths of 1837.

BERLIN, Nov. 3. —The publication in the German news papers of the treaty of commerce between Great Britain and Austria, the ratifications of which were lately exchanged in London, has created a sensation in Germany which proves haw fully they appreciate the importance of those two nations being on a friendly footing, and the counterpoise it affords to the influence which Russia is constantly seeking to gain in the countries where constitutional principles are more and more disseminated and understood. But the feelings of dis like towards the Russians which exist there are quite as ge neral in Prussia. Even in Bohemia this is equally the case, where their attachment to the Catholic religion is proverbial, and there is such a similarity between their language and that of Poland that they feel the most lively interest in all which occurs in the Polish provinces of the Russian empire. The ef forts used there for the purpose of forcing the Greek religion on the inhabitants have completely alienated the Catholic clergy, who do not seek to conceal their hatred of those whom they consider as their greatest enemies ; and they possess means of transmitting intelligence, which no government, how. ever despotic, can prevent. I am informed that where persuasion or menace has failed in inducing the peasants to call them selves converts, the agents of the Russian Government gene rally give them spirits, and while they are in a state of intoxi cation make them sign a declaration of their having, along with their families, abjured the Catholic religion. When they again come to their senses this step is looked upon as irrevo cable; the clergy are forbidden to intet fere under the severest penalties. In two instances lately, individuals in Lithuania, who had presumed to oppose those iniquitous measures, were seized, degraded as priests, and then shot ; and the conse quence often is, that those who have signed avoid applying to the Greek clergy for the solemnization of marriage or baptism, and prefer living on in a state which must be reprobated even by all the respectable persons of that religion which it is sought to establish. These are circumstances which are care fully concealed from the knowledge of the Emperor, who can only judge from the reports made to him, where the number of converts appears to afford the most satisfactory proof of success in effecting the utter destruction of the Polish national character. The friends of Russia have always sought to inculcate the idea that no sincere good understanding could exist between Austria and Great Britain under the present British Govern ment. The conclusion of a treaty deliberately negociated and grounded on principles of the most friendly reciprocity is a positive contradiction of the above assertion ; and the blow is doubly severe from its falling immediately after the publi cation of the Austrian amnesty, a measure which the agents of that Government do not attempt to designate as a conces sion to the Liberals. The Journal des Flandres gives the following as the text of the letter lately addressed by the Archbishop of Cologne to the King of Prussia : Sire,—For nearly twelve months I have been confined here, in the fortress of Minden, wh ere b y I am illegally pre vented from administering my diocese, as in duty bound. My conscience would be overburdened if I remained any longer silent. I ask no favour—l demand only justice. Your Ma jesty is called the Just ;' I hope, therefore, my appeal will be taken into consideration, and the more readily, as I have been a prisoner for tt-n month 4, without knowing why I am guarded as a criminal, and without being allowed to appear before my judges. Should your Majesty refuse to do me justice, I shall be obliged to lay my complaint before the Germanic Diet, which I am convinced holds the sacred right of preventing all oppression and violation of the laws within the territories of the Germanic Confederation. As far as regards may own per son, I am resigned, for the love of Christ, to sustain a much longer captivity; but as I know that during my absence from the diocese of Cologne events are taking place to the great prejudice of our holy religion, I have felt it my sacred duty to lay this my demand before your Majesty, in order that I may be brought before my judges."

Letters from Russia, arrived from different quarters, confirm a portion of the intelligence which, in spite of the vigilance of the Muscovite police, and of its cabinets noirs, transpired some days ago. It appears that the Emperor has determined on the examination of all the positions held by his troops along the Kuban, and on leaving garrisons only in the strong places. The active corps of the army of the Northern Caucasus will accordingly resume its winter cantonments along the Don and the Sea of A zop h . The General in Chief Rajewski as , as is usually the case, held aecountable for the ineffective state of that army and its late riek::Es ; but it is now well ascertained that the cleP°: o ralization of the Russian so ldi ers proceeds from their ill success in every encounter, and from their 'fistrust of the Cossacks. Numerous desertions daily t'ile place, and it would be utterly I impossible to combinf? ' , luring winter any military operation, so hat the costly support of the troops in their positions would 'be a dead loss. They would, moreover, be constantly exposed to partial surprises, sickness, &c. The Russian fleet employed in the blockade of the coast of Abasia would not fare better, that is, if it were abl e t o rema i n on that station during winter, liable, as it would be, at every moment to perish in a storm, and its crews by the hands of the natives, if thrown on the coast. The Anglo-Turkish Company, which has undertaken to supply the Caucasians along that coast, is in full operation. They not only furnish them goods and ammunition, but they send them men and arms, and the Emperor Nicholas, whose reliance on his own forces and impassibility are so much extolled by the journals, appears now convinced that the war against the Circassians has inflicted a serious blow on his power. Instead of attempting to teduce those insurgents, he will hereafter confine himself to allaying the spirit of revolt in Georgia, and to keep his forces ready to contend, if necessary, for the possession of Constantinople."—Courier Francais. Extract of a letter from Odessa, dated 20th ult. quoted by the Commerce.: —" Prince Sewerdzemidzew, a native of the principality of Djarobelikansk, and Governor of that country for the Emperor Nicholas, in whose army he held the rank of General, and by whom he was loaded with orders and other favours, wishing to show his zeal and gratitude, denounced a young Avarian Khan, who had been en deavourimr to excite the inhabitants to revolt against the Russians. The Khan escaped from his pursuers but the Prince was shortly afterwards found dead in his Louse. It was ascertained that he had been poisoned, and his murderer's name was openly pronounced by the people, who proclaimed that the same fate awaited every traitor to his country. The Governm en t h as t h oug h t i t most prudent to abstain from all attempts to pursue the assassin. General Fest, after having devastated several villages of the Lesghis, has been obliged to retreat before a body of the cavalry of the Tchetchentses, which came down from the mountains, and made a sudden attack upon him. He lost many men and a part of his baggage, and was not safe till he reached Descent. The assailants sacked the town of Boujnalki and its surrounding villages, and carried off a rich booty. The expedition was commanded by a Polish officer named Pio trowski, who, in 1832, was degraded into the ranks of the Russian army, from which lie deserted to- the Circassians. Great discord prevails among the Generals of the Russian fc rees in the Black Sea, Rajewski, presuming upon the favear shown him by the Czar, opposes the authority of Gen. Grabbe; aid General Golovine, the Commander-in- Chief, has taken the command of Anapa from General Festomilof, a favourite Rajewski's, and given it to Colonel Von Brick, a protege of General Grabbe. In revenge, Rajewski has obtained for Festomilof a government in Poland." FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE HOL LAND° BELGIC QUESTION. ( From the Morning Post.) We have received a communication from the Hague, upon the accuracy of which we entirely rely. It enables us to lay before the public the actual state of the negotiation upon th e affairs of the N et h er l an d s, and to explain the grounds upon which we believe we may venture to announce that this pro tracted negotiation approaches very nearly to its conclusion. About fourteen days ago the representatives of the Five Powers who constitute the Conference of London determined by a vote which, 'A ith the qualification we shall presently men tion, was unanimous, that Belgium should be required to ad here to the treaty executed by her representative, in common Ivith those of the Five Meditating Powers, on the 15th of No vember, 1831 (the treaty of the Twenty-four Articles), va ried by the following modifications, which it will be perceived do not include any change of the territolial partition :- 1. Some alteration of the regulations prescribed by the treaty for the navigation of the Scheldt by the vessels of Bel gium. This change relates only to pilotage, and is not deemed of much importance. 2. The only further deviation from the treaty of November, 1831, relates to the partition between Holland and Belgium of the joint debt of the kingdom of the Netherlands. The change in this part of the arragement is of some importance. It ex acts a considerable sacrifice on the part of Holland, in which, notwithstanding its magnitude, that power, anxious for the final settlement of every question in dispute, has intimated its r,,odiness to acquiesce. Belgium, it will be recollected, was required by the former treaty to take upon herself an annual charge, on account of the joint debt of the Netherlands, to the amount of 8,400,000 florins. This amount by the arraneincnt, now all but con.. eluded, will be reduced by about 3,400,000 or 3,500,000 florins, leaving the annual charge upon Belgium about 5,000,000 florins. Without perplexing our readers by unnecessary details, as to course of the negotiation which led to this reduction of the charge upon Belgium, it may suffice to state that it is in part the result of developments and explanations, from which equitable grounds for this relief to Belgium were perceived and acknowleeged ; and that, in part, it is to be counterpoised by specific compensation to Holland. The Conference recognized that there was something erro neous or at least questionable, in the principle upon which it had assigned to Belgium by the treaty, of the Twenty-four Articles, the entire undivided charge on account of the Aus tro-Belgian debt. The former decision of the Conference in respect to this debt, which it has now seen reason to revoke, is announced in the 48th protocol of the date of October the 6th, 1831, in the following words ; . . " Moreover, the Austro-Belgian debt having belonged ex clusively to Belgium before her union with Holland, it was deemed equally just that this debt should be borne exclusively by Belgium for the future. " The interest at 2, 1 ,- per cent, upon the portion of this debt called active, as well as the fund set apart for the redemption of that portion called deferred debt, being estimated in round numbers at 750,000 Netherlands florins of annual interest, Belgium will have to support under this second head another debt of 750,000 florins of interest." The Conference discovered also what it deemed equitable grounds for departing from its former decision with respect to the Gallo-Belgian debt—a decision which we find thus re corded in the Protocol above mentioned : " The Conference, constantly actuated by rules of equity, found that, according to the principles and views by which it is guided, a further debt, which was originally borne by Bel gium previous to her union with Holland, namely, the debt inscribed for Belgium in the Great Book of the French em pire, and which, according to its Budgets, would appear to amount to 4,000,000 of francs, or 2,000,000 florins of the Netherlands of annual interest, should also be placed to the charge of the Belgian Treasury. The debt, therefore, with which Belgium would be charged, under this third head, would amount to 2,000,000 Netherlands florins of annual payment." In respect to the two items we have just mentioned, Belgium obtains unqualified relief, and Holland is called upon to make an uncompensated sacrifice. For ki bat remains of the total reduction of three millions and a half of flourins, unexplained by these items, a compen sation is offered to Holland, inasmuch as she is relieved from the nec,l‘ssity, imposed upon her by the former arrangement, of accounting to Belgium for the balance of a loan of 68,000,000 of florins left, at the period of the separation of the two coun tries, in the hands of the sinking fund syndicate (amortisatie syndikaat) ; and absolved generally from any claim or corn plaint that might now or hereafter have been advanced by Bel gium on account of the transactions or obligations of this pecu liarly Dutch institution. Holland, it is also understood, is to relinquish her claim to arrears of payment on account of the joint debt. Such are the terms upon which, a fortnight ago, the repre sentatives of the Five Powers would have terminated this tedious negotiation ; but that Count Sebastiani thought him self obliged, before he affixed his signature to the protocol, to refer to his Court for instructions upon some point or points of we believe rather minute arithmetic. An immediate reply from the French Government to the application of its Ambas sador was confidently expected. No answer, however, 'has yet been returned; and (whatever surprise it may have occa sioned that France, forgetful of her duty as an umpire between two inferior Powers, should act as if she was merely the agent of one of them), it is believed that the French Government has referred the communication of Count Sebastiani to the Court of Brussels. The public will soon have the opportunity of collating the explanation we have now given of the actual position of affairs, with the speech of the King of the Belgians, to be delivered on the opening of the Session of the Belgian Legisla ture to-morrow, and with the subsequent statements which may naturally be expected from his Ministers. From the language employed upon that occasion, aided by the light we have now thrown upon the subject, it will not be difficult to conjecture whether a settlement is now to be completed with the acquiescence of Belgium, or the efforts and alliances of that Power are to be still employed with a view to indefinite procrastination. It is manifest, at least, that from this time forward there can be no quest ion as to a n y arrears o f payment, on account of the debt, to wh ich a delay of the final settlement, occasioned by Belgium, may now give rise. In the best-informed diplomatic circles, both in London and tithe Hague, it is expected that the settlement will be com pleted before the 17th of next month, for which day the French Chambers have been convoked by Louis Philippe. It is na turally enough supposed that the King of the French, upon whom it mainly depends to expedite or retard the conclusion, may be desirous of announcing in his speech at the opening of the Legislative Session, the final adjustment of disputes which have so l ong engage d and baffled European diplom ac y , . and the 'continued existence of which must always be atended with some degree of d anger t o t h e general peace. It is said that a battalion of the Foot Guards will be sent to Malta, to 'assist in the duties of tbat important garrison during the Queen Dowager's residence.—Limerick Chronicle. EXPERIMENTAL PAVEMENT IN OXFORD STREET.—.Mr. Robinson bas just completed 30 feet from Charles-street, in square blocks, and 30 feet of the same, laid diamond-wise. Mr. Claridge has the next 150 feet, which is to be ordinary paving-stona, jointed only with his cement; the last 50, however, he t i •;roposes to lay in stones of only 4f inches thickness, in 0 1 .*Lter to show the tenacity of his cement in, holding them to On Fri'lay evening an inquest was held at the Three Clerkenwell-close, on the body of John Gray, aged fix*.y-three.
